March 2023
Luca Forcucci (Berlin) at Shift 8pm Tuesday 14
The Room Above was recorded in the church of the Helvetic Circle in Genoa; I played the church's organ in the present moment, with no score, over four consecutive days, possibly inspired by long sonic walks in the surrounding mountains and along the Ligurian coast; the intrinsic architectural sonic spatial identity of the building entered the recordings; the cumulation of sonic spaces - those initially present, those of field recordings, those of future concert venues, and those imagined by the listener - lead to a sonic moiré, a polyphony of spaces; such a sonic moiré is the perception of several strata of spaces, as is comparable to the perception emerging from Marcel Duchamp's rotoreliefs between the work and the perceiver, in a cinematic experience for the mind

Dear Friiends,
The very happiest of New Years to you!
I believe that I have never sent a personal letter requesting a donation to Experimental Intermedia before.I never liked the idea. But times have become critical in our funding.Next year will be the fiftieth year of the EI concert series. Ye gods, 50 years next year.We have maintained a very low entrance fee to the concerts - $4.99, for many years, because we want people to come to the concerts. And we pay an actual fee to the artists and not door money. So, if you can spare a little change...You can do this now if you still want to for the 2022 year, or just get an early start for your 2023 donations if you prefer... We hope to be hosting the concerts at 224 Centre Street again by December 2023.Experimental Intermedia was founded by Elaine Summers in 1968. Our first concerts at 224 Centre Street were in December 1973. Phill Niblock, director
This past year Experimental Intermedia Foundation was able to present artists in a number of substantial ways, ushering new and exciting works into the world. Our March 2022 Series, presented 10 evenings of concerts or screenings. Three of these events were held in-person at Fridman Gallery NYC and seven were virtual, live on-line due to lingering Covid concerns at the time. The in-person events featured Forbes Graham, Nicola Hein, Viola Yip, Liz Phillips. On-line presentations included works by Kit Fitzgerald, Davidson Gigliotti, Jen Morris, Warren Burt, Ulrich Krieger, Carl Stone, Peggy Ahwesh, as well as the 18th annual Screen Compositions event curated by Katherine Liberovskaya. The recently completed December 2022 Series had seven performances, all in-person and simultaneously live-streamed from our website and from Wave Farm's web radio, that were presented at three different New York City locations: Shift, WhiteBox and Fridman Gallery, and featured Tom Hamilton, Thessia Machado, Cleek Schrey, Lee Gilboa, Pauline Kim Harris, Gryphon Rue, Frédéric Acquaviva, Loré Lixenberg, Laurie Schwartz and more. EIF also produced on-line video interviews with XI record label composers Ellen Fullman and David Behrman in conversation with Phill Niblock and Katherine Liberovskaya. Video recordings of all the events and interviews produced in 2022 by EIF remain on our website and can be viewed by anyone near or far at any time.
If you were inspired, challenged or moved by Experimental Intermedia Foundation’s programming this last year, or over the past 50 odd years, we hope you will consider supporting us by donating to our year-end campaign. Your fully tax-deductible donation of any amount to this fundraising effort can provide important unrestricted support to our general operations, helping with everything that we do for you, for artists, for the broader public. Donations can be made through the "Donate" button on the landing page of our website https://experimentalintermedia.org (PayPal) or by sending a check by mail.

Gryphon Rue (New York City) at WhiteBox Friday 16
His music is constructed of complex patterns derived from instruments such as bowed hand saws, harmonium, and custom synthesizers, the music discloses a fascination with mimetic potential—the ability to suggest biological actions, molecular events, possession, nourishment—and is above all, made with people's pleasure in mind; joined by Will Epstein on piano, synthesizer, and soprano saxophone gryphonrue.bandcamp.com/album/a-spirit-appears-to-a-pair-of-loversgryphonru… Instagram: 4n_objx Frédéric Acquaviva and Loré Lixenberg (London) at Fridman Gallery Monday 19

October 9 2022, Sunday - Montreal Canada - Espace Bleu | Édifice Wilder -Inside Your Ears, Productions Totem Contemporain - Representation(S)An unforgettable immersive experience, Inside your ears showcases the siren organ with its rich and powerful vibrations and tones! Jean-François Laporte's emblematic instrument composed of six truck sirens will be augmented for the occasion. An intrepid explorer of sound in all its originality and physicality, Totem Contemporain presents three works by Benjamin Thigpen, Phill Niblock, and Jean-François Laporte, respectively two world premieres and a Canadian premiere. Alone on stage, seated in the middle of the horns facing the audience, Jean-François Laporte modifies the volume, attack, and timbre of the sounds produced, in an entirely acoustic manner. The siren organ has a brilliance and presence that makes the body vibrate, reminiscent of the ship's horns in harbour symphonies.https://levivier.ca/en/concert/2022-23-season/inside-your-earsPN not resent but on Zoom October 12 - WEDNESDAY, 8pm, False Harmonics #12: TILT Brass & Zeena Parkins (Performing the music of Julius Eastman, Phill Niblock & Zeena Parkins) feat.

Plesase respond to this email to: pnibock(a)compuserve.com
This is an announcement about a live concert in NY, after these many months of lockdown and my injured back. And shared with these great other artists. And outdoors in the fresh, mid spring air.
So, it's a happy time.
This concert is not virtual, so you outside of NY will miss it, but you are now informed that it happens!!
We (KL & PN) are the last on the program, because we project video and have to wait until dark, so our start time is not knowable, it may be a wait after the acts before us.
There will be some drinks and even nearby food in the area.

Nicola Hein and Viola Yip (Berlin, New York, Hong Kong) Wednesday 16
Transsonic (Hein and Yip) is an experimental transmedial duo that creates immersive site-specific performances and installations bridging the vibrations of light and sound, trained as musicians, both look into the ontology of sound and how musical experience can be transformed beyond its common material—sound, for their artistic research project Transsonic, they explore light as an expanded musical material, they research and create performances, improvising between lights and sounds as equally important but dialectical musical materials, for this concert, the duo is creating a new piece for lights and electronics that incorporate our bodies as part of the circuit

Kit Fitzgerald (New York) A Video Event Monday 21
Video is my instrument and my orchestra; my images are literal, poetic, performative, expressive, the work is grounded in the tactile, my approach is along the lines of wabi-sabi, influenced by European painting and by my experience with Asian approaches - from early collaborations with Nam June Paik, residencies in Korea and Tokyo, and yoga; I like to create beauty in a chaotic world; beauty is truth, but sometimes the truth is painful www.kitfitzgerald.com
Davidson Gigliotti (New York and Venice) A Video Event Tuesday 22
In the late 70s, better cameras and better cassette decks were making the move to television for single channel video art a real possibility, I was taping a lot of performance art in those days, I had a good studio, decent equipment, and some idea of how to go about it and my friend Jean Dupuy was at the heart of a distinctive style of New York performance art; the artists he championed, Joe Lewis, Tim Maul, Michael Smith, Julia Heyward, to name just a few, performed regularly in the Grommet shows staged in his Broadway loft, it was Jean’s wish that some of these performances should be recorded, it was my idea to try to put them on TV
Jen Morris (Montreal, Lausanne) Wednesday 23
Sometime Lausanne-based Montrealer sound artist collaborates with west-coast analog media maker Alex MacKenzie for an apartment-sized sleight of hand, all curtains and mirrors, an uncanny amalgam of susurrus sonic somnambulism born of bespoke instruments combined with phosphenic photochemical fabulations on Super 8 and 16mm, featuring Morris’ homemade invention - the “Pivophone”, an instrument built of pine cones

SYNOPSIS: Updates and presentations from the 3D audio community, a celebration of Michael Gerzon, live musical performances. Hosted by Charlie Morrow.
Event Details:
International Planetarium Society (IPS) Immersive Sound Committee, in association with IMERSA, and Audio Engineering Society (AES) invite you personally to
immerse! an online event
Featuring: Brian Katz, Anna Green, Pat Thomas, Phil Minton, Patty Seaton, Gilad Keren, Monica Bolles, Dan Neafus, Ian McLennan, William David Fastenow, Chris Plunkett, and Timo Bittner
Produced by: MorrowSound & Park Boulevard Productions
Mark your calendars! On March 20, 2022, we’re launching a new project. The first in a new series of streamed events--part music salon, part community platform--we’ll host presentations and performances from folks working in experimental audio, multidi- mensional sound, and extended listening.
The salon follows an annual tradition of its organizers in celebrating the equinoxes and solstices,1-2 events are pegged around these dates annually. This particular event launches Charlie Morrow’s “immerse!” podcast crafted with Bart Plantenga. The salon will feature a few pieces of music, including a world premiere by William David Fastenow, as well as academic updates and conversations related to immersive sound and will honor the ambisonic work of Michael Gerzon.
Vernal Periphony (world premiere) - Performance Notes
Several individuals and small groups throughout the world collaborate on this piece that pegs to both the ambisonic work of Michael Gerzon (particularly his incorporation of the Z/vertical axis, which he calls periphony) as well as the equinox (in which all of the inhabited world is aligned in near identical 12hr days / 12hr nights). The ensemble will play together in real time (despite disperate geography) via an online score and audio routed over the internet. A web streaming player/strategy will allow us to stream to the audience in multichannel audio, on 1-3 audience devices. The pieces will be mixed vertically, along the Z axis. The geographical latitude of each performer/small group is important to the piece, which correlates to both the vertical placement in the mix as well as how active the part is at specific times throughout the piece.
| Fastenow asks the audience to stream to three personal devices if possible, placing one on the floor, one up on a high shelf, and the other on their lap or a table in front of them.
